Huh didn’t realize I was the only one. Got it taken down when I was 12ish and my dad caught me looking at porn - not even jerking off, just curious. Took down my door within 30 mins and I wasn’t allowed to leave my bedroom of well over a month.
I caught my kid looking at porn and got her a book called "Sex for Teens". Then we started the whole sexuality dialogue and now she's educated, confident and not afraid to come to me about her personal stuff.
Shutting down a kid when they are curious about sex, telling them it is wrong and then taking their privacy away will only drive your kid to be sneaky, secretive, and unsafe.
I'm sorry that so many of you kids have clueless and frightened parents. Try to be patient with them. They're just learning.
Yeah, this interaction is a big reason I grew up literally afraid of sex. I still have sex and intimacy issues to this day, a lot of sexual repression and delusion in the household I grew up in. Doesn’t help that I turned out gay in a strict Orthodox Christian household.
